Well, not much for me to say about this chapter except that Pterano and Rarity first see each other, Twilight grows suspicious of the three flyers, and that Sierra is secretly scared of ponies.

A Flier's Angel Chapter: 2
The very next morning, Rarity still couldn't help but feel so sad and lonesome. The depressed unicorn had been thinking all night long of her true love and what he would be like.
She had been having many wonderful fantasies of herself meeting her mysterious lover in beautiful flower felids, she herself acting as if she was but a shy school pony again...
Just as she and her soulmate were about kiss, Rarity lost all focus on her daydream, the unicorn having returned to reality...
"What?" Pterano mused as he winced, feeling the glaring sunshine down upon him. Slowly sitting up, he looked around slowly. "This isn't the mysterious beyond...or is it?" he thought as he could see a town of some sort up ahead. Panicking, he quickly ducked out of sight, as he noticed Sierra and Rinkus asleep. "Get up!" he lectured.
Watching them arise groaning, Rinkus moaned, "Owwww, my aching beak! You sat on it, Sierra!"
"Not my fault that I fell asleep without knowing it!" snapped back Sierra.
"Be quiet, you idiots! Look out there, at that town." Pterano mused. Following his gaze, they awed. The town was inhabited by...dinosaurs they had never seen before. "How curious. What sort of dinosaurs are those?" he asked aloud.
"Maybe they're not dinosaurs at all." Sierra pointed out.
"Hmmm...maybe." Pterano said, as an idea slowly came to his mind. Grinning, he said, "They don't look too powerful. We should take this town over, and make everyone do whatever we want, when we want." Getting their attention, he spoke boldly, "Then I would rule over this land as a fair and just king."
"A stupid king maybe…" Sierra grumbled to himself. Getting up, he smirked, "Fine, let's go and get them now."
"No, no, no, we don't just go in and start issuing orders! We need to gain their trust. That way, it will make the take over much easier." Pterano smiled, as he got up. Smiling, he told them, "Now let's go and make a good impression."
"Come on, Twilight! Let me sleep some more!" complained the drowsy purple dragon, clearly not wanting to trek into Ponyville so very early in the morning.
"Well, I'm letting you ride on my back, aren't I?" Twilight Sparkle pointed out. "It's a lot better than having to walk all the way there..."
Approaching Ponyville's town square, the purple unicorn was in a great sense of shock at what she was witnessing! The local pony residents were odd-struck at...three creatures they had never laid eyes on before? What was the meaning of all this?! Whatever the meaning was, it certainly meant that trouble was afoot!
"Who are those guys?" Spike questioned, now a lot more focused.
"Hush, Spike!" she shushed, trying to listen in from a distance.
Sierra chuckled as he walked into town, as he said, "Heh, they're afraid! Good. They got a reason to be afraid!" Secretly though, he was actually quite afraid of the ponies. Something about their innocent looks gave him the shivers!
Rinkus smiled sheepishly at the ponies, who smiled back, causing him to cringe. "They're features are far too cute…" he groaned.
Pterano looked at both of them, as he instructed, "Manners, we are guests." Stepping into the square, he announced, "Citizens of this town. Greetings. I am Pterano, and these are my followers, Sierra and Rinkus. We come from a far and distant land, and mean you no harm. If at all possible, we request to rest here in this town for a few days before we move on." He smiled charismatically as he sold it.
The ponies cheered wildly in response to the flier's brief speech!
Twilight just couldn't believe this! The ponies had bought this odd creature's story just like that! And to make matters much worse, she even spotted a couple of her best pony friends amongst the large crowd!
"How could they all just buy his story all so quickly?!" she questioned aloud. "Whatever his true intentions are, I'm getting a very bad vibe off of them!"
As Twilight Sparkle took off like a rocket, the baby dragon then asked her, "Hey! Where are we going in such a hurry, Twilight?"
"To the library to hopefully shed some light on these mysterious creatures!" she answered, continuing to gallop in the direction of the giant tree...
Smiling arrogantly at the cheering ponies, Pterano thought, "Well, that was much easier than I expected. This is perfect! First, we need to do some favors for these ponies, so that way we can get them to trust us. After we help them out to the point where they consider us one of them, we'll take advantage of the moment and rule over them all!"
Bowing to them all, he felt someone poke his back. "What is it?!" he asked impatiently.
"What's the plan?" Sierra asked grudgingly.
"Simple. We get them to trust us, then we take over." Pterano smiled.
Rinkus gulped, as he looked around at them all nervously. "I..I dunno if it'll work." Whilst most of the ponies were cheering, a few were staring at them suspiciously. "Some of them don't trust us!"
Amongst the crowd, Rarity stared dreamily at Pterano, clearly having fallen under his spell.
"Pterano is such a lovely name..." she sighed deeply. "Despite me not ever seeing such a beautiful creature such as himself before, I can already tell that we'd be just perfect for each other..."
"Heya, Rarity!" greeted Pinkie Pie, admiring the goofy expression on the unicorn's face. "What's up with you?"
Snapping out of her daydreaming-like phase, she laughed nervously, "Heh, heh, heh! Oh it's nothing, my dear! I'm quite alright!"
Pterano smirked, "Don't be ridiculous, Rinkus." Pointing out to them all, he called out to the ponies, "It is true, we are not like you creatures and it's understandable for you to show some distrust. But I assure you. Whatever must be done in order for us to gain the trust of you all, we shall do it!" Ignoring the complaints of Sierra, Pterano's eyes caught that of Rarity's! "Hmm, interesting looking creature. She seems to hold grace to her being." Looking away, he thought, "Bah, it's of no matter!"
"So anyway, Rarity," Pinkie went on with her friend. "I'm going to be planning one of my extra-special welcome parties for Pterano and his friends! Would you mind helping me by designing the decorations?"
Blushing at this favor she was being asked, Rarity thought silently to herself, "Why would I not want to?! If it is for darling Pterano's sake, then I am all for it! Perhaps by doing this, it'll even get him to notice me! Oh, everything must be completely perfect... Nodding back at her quickly, she replied, "I would be more than happy to pitch in to your little surprise party for them! I'll design the most beautiful and sophisticated decorations as possible!"
"Great!" smiled Pinkie Pie. "The party's gonna be held tomorrow! Let's do our very best on it!"
"We shall!" smiled the unicorn, giving her a high five!
Night had fallen over Ponyville, and the three flyers had taken flight to the outskirts of the town. Since they didn't know anypony very well, they decided it would be best to sleep the first night outside of town. "So, from what I've heard, a party is being made and were going to attend." Pterano pointed out.
"Why?!" Sierra replied grumpily.
"Because it's rude not to go when one goes through all the trouble of creating one. We're going to go and make a good impression. Get them to lower their guard around us." Pterano lectured. Yawning, he said, "Your leader tires, however. We shall discuss more in the morning."
Turning over in his sleep, he yawned as he drifted.
